The bash version is 5.0.7

$ /gnu/store/whkq7f2d702hqnrdd2cqskqxdx267283-profile/bin/bash --version
GNU bash, version 5.0.7(1)-release (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)

--pedantic is a GCC flag which causes every non-standard C to raise an
error, even though it may be an available extension in GCC. And,
-Wpedantic will warn about these deviations from the standard.

Despite the errors and warnings, it appears that I have a working
pacman. Thanks a lot, Eli.
